Chapter 16
Arabella looked at him. The tall and long-legged man stood against the light. The bright light plated a
layer of gold on his handsome and defined side profile. The man in the black shirt looked a bit colder
and more mysterious than usual.
Arabella glanced down quickly. He was wearing an expensive, shiny black belt around his waist, which
accentuated his slim waist. Erm... it was what Aurora just mentioned... a sexy waist.
God, what was she thinking? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Realizing that she was distracted thinking of Aurora, Arabella quickly stopped thinking nonsense and
asked with a normal tone, "Mr. Lucero, why are you standing there?"
Kenneth looked into the girl's shiny and bright eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I think I saw a
small cat. It was meowing."
Wha... what?
Kenneth, "It's in heat."
The second the words left his mouth, Arabella's little face flushed instantly. She hurled the towel in her
hand at the man's handsome face.
Kenneth didn't dodge. The towel hit his face and fell on the carpet. He let out a raspy laugh, laughing at
her.
Arabella extended her arm to close the bathroom door.
But he raised his knee slightly and stopped the door from closing. "Are you mad?"
Arabella said, "hmph!" and ignored him.
"I'm flying overseas for a business trip. I won't be around for a few days."
Arabella looked up immediately. He was going on a business trip?
That would be his first business trip.
Arabella stopped being mad. "When are you leaving?"
"I'm heading off shortly."
"That's so soon... Don't work too hard and get plenty of rest."
"Don't you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Arabella thought for a while. She had nothing to say, so she shook her head. "No..."
Kenneth grabbed her slender wrist and pulled it gently. Arabella stumbled and her lean body fell into his
arms.
Arabella quickly stood up and straightened up. "Mr. Lucero, what are you doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, he grabbed her little hand and placed it on his exquisite and muscular
waist.
Her tender palm could feel his strong muscles beneath the thin fabric right away. They were full of
masculine energy. Arabella felt as if her fingertips were electrified and ignited instantly. She was so
scared that she retracted her hand.
But Kenneth pressed her against the wall, leaving her no chance of escaping. His thin lips pressed
against her red ear and he spoke in a lowered voice. "Is this what you want?"
Arabella now knew that he had taken all the voice messages he heard to heart after all, and felt even
more embarrassed. "Mr. Lucero, we were just kidding. Let me go!"
Suddenly, someone knocked the door twice. Bryson said respectfully outside the bedroom, "Mr. Lucero,
your private jet is ready. It's time to head off."
Kenneth let go of Arabella. "Stop watching those again. Just call me whenever there is any problem
you can't solve."
Once Kenneth finished speaking, he left.
...
Arabella took a shower and went to bed. She took out her phone and with Aurora they moved away
from the toy boy's topic. Aurora sent a message in the end. "Bella, I will be filming a movie abroad for a
while. As for Caitlin's past scandals, I've already asked someone to uncover them. She's a cunning old
fox. It will take some time before we find something. When it's time, you and I together will tear apart
Stephany the scum!"
Arabella was so glad to have a bestie like her and immediately replied with a big kiss.
When it was time to sleep, Arabella couldn't fall asleep. When she closed her eyes, all she could see
was what Kenneth did before he left. He pulled her into his arms, grabbed her hand and forced her to
touch his waist. He also asked seductively next to her ear, "is this what you want?"
He was so confident!
Also, what did he mean by stop watching those again?
She didn't really watch those at all. On her 18th birthday, Aurora secretly dragged her into the room...
In the end, he said that she could call him if there was any problem she couldn't solve.
Arabella closed her eyes and suddenly felt at ease. She smiled and fell asleep.
...
Since she fell asleep late last night, she slept in the next day. She was woken up by a melodious
ringtone.
Someone was calling her.
Arabella opened her sleepy eyes and answered her phone. "Hello."
She heard Caitlin's soft and harmonious voice from the other end. "Hello, Bella. It's me. I hope I'm not
disturbing you."
The affair between Caitlin and Nolan had dealt a serious blow to her. Now she deliberately softened her
voice, but Arabella could still hear bits of bitter resentment. Since Caitlin tried her best to hold herself
back, Arabella was in a good mood, so she replied sweetly, "Caitlin, is there anything I can help you
with?"
"Bella, it's like this. Today is Leia's birthday. We are throwing a party for Leia's birthday. We'd like to
invite you to join us. Are you free tonight?"
Caitlin invited Arabella to a party. She must have plotted something, but Arabella felt that she had no
reason not to take up the challenge. "Yes, Caitlin. I'm free tonight. Let me know where it is. I'll be there
on time tonight."
"That's great, Bella. Leia's birthday will be held at the Emgrand Six-star Hotel."
"The Emgrand Six-star Hotel?"
"Yes, Bella. The Emgrand Six-star Hotel is the best hotel in Hardgrad and it is also the property of the
number one prominent family in Hardgrad, the Lucero family. The gatherings of dignitaries in Hardgard
are usually held there. It's Leia's birthday, so Seth cares a lot about it and spent a lot to book a luxury
private room there. Bella, you have just returned from the countryside, so you certainly haven't seen
the Emgrand Hotel yet. It will open your eyes tonight. "
Arabella almost laughed. It turned out that Caitlin called her just to show off.
On the day she returned to Hardgard from the countryside, she saw the Emgrand Six-star Hotel in a
car. It was located in the most prosperous area of Hardgrad. It was designed to be a pyramid, which
was so tall that it pierced the sky. It was so extravagant and glorious.
The driver told her that this was the Emgrand Hotel, which was owned by the richest man in the city.
Leia's birthday would be held at the Emgrand Hotel. Seth spent a lot to show how much he loved his
daughter Leia. Caitlin indeed had a reason to be proud.
"I really haven't had a chance to see the legendary Emgrand Hotel. So, Caitlin, I'll see you tonight."
Arabella hung up the phone and got up. She opened her changing room.
When she was married into the family, a separate changing room was installed in this bedroom for her.
This was her first time walking into it. She was looking for an evening gown.
But Arabella was stunned as she walked in. Rows of clothes hangers were displaying a dazzling array
of branded dresses. Display cabinets were filled with crystal high-heeled shoes and handbags...
This was probably... every woman's dream changing room.
Arabella opened a wardrobe. Her little face flushed as she looked into it.
There were various styles of silk and lace pajamas hanging in the wardrobe. There were the ones
which looked innocent, sexy, and everything else.
Who prepared these?
Could these be... his taste?
Aurora once said, the more a man appeared serious and looked as if he was practicing abstinence
wearing a neatly ironed shirt and trousers, the more lustful he was.
Arabella quickly closed the wardrobe, picked a long dress and put it on. She then went to the Emgrand
Six-star Hotel.
